Well, Overeem sure has sucked a lot of ass lately, so I guess he COULD vary his losing streak a bit by getting tapped instead of knocked out for a change. Nothing would please me more than having the fat-faced dickhead lose his third in a row and get cut from the promotion.

His heart was visible, and the dismal sack that maketh excrement of what is eaten.

Lets not forget that Overeem started as a grappler with swing-for-the-fences striking back in his Pride days before Golden Glory tuned him up. His wrestling hasn't been well tested but its not as though he is useless on the ground. Though Mir is probably working on intricacies of moves...

Overall, I can't say I am excited for the match up, but I am curious about the result.

Mir would murder-rape Overeem on the ground. Despite his many glaring weaknesses, you can't take Mir's grappling away from him.

Unfortunately for Mir he'll probably be knocked out by a chi blast before he ever gets the chance to de-limb Captain Ovaries.

That goes without saying. Mir has curiously underdeveloped wrestling for a grappler of his calibre, however, and I don't really see him being able to take Overeem Down without getting clobbered badly on the way in.

I agree that, if it goes to the ground, Overeem will probably lose in a pretty slick sub from Mir. I more meant that Overeem isn't completely devoid of grappling and particularly take down defense, like some people seem to think. Too many people see him as a pure kickboxer, which he isn't. Its not as simple as "Mir should just take him down and sub him, its easy, 'Reems a kickboxer". Because, lets be honest, if Mir is dumb enough to clinch up on purpose, he will probably get a string of knees that will put him on the canvas.

But I would be fine with being proved wrong as well. I am pretty over Overeem at this point. (you see what I did there?)
